Sarah Moon and daughters Phoebe, Imogen and Freya Kaye had been devastated when beloved pet Walter went lacking on December 16.
After catching a mouse he went again out and did not come again.
Retired police diver Sarah mentioned: “It’s been horrendous, it’s like losing a family member. It’s been the worst Christmas.
“I can only imagine what it’s like when people lose a human. It’s been heartwrenching, we’re broken.
“We hope even if someone has him or knocked him over if they came forward with more information.”
Searching excessive and large throughout the neighbourhood and social media, a household in Hemsworth bought in contact believing that they had tracked Walter down.
The cat regarded identical to Walter and the household headed down to gather him.
But the Hemsworth cat turned out to be a very totally different animal regardless of wanting strikingly related.
Because the household couldn’t stand to see the brand new cat, who wasn’t microchipped, left alone they took her to be checked by a vet and into their home.
It’s made for a sophisticated scenario as the brand new cat grew to become snug whereas the heartbroken household’s seek for lacking Walter continued.
Sarah, who now runs a canine walking business, mentioned: “It’s nice having a little cat in the house but it’s confusing and upsetting. She’s not Walter but she’s so sweet. It’s very strange. It’s a bit like that film Changeling when they’re sent the wrong son.”
Changeling was a 2008 movie starring Angelina Jolie wherein her character’s lacking son seems to get replaced with one other boy.
Sarah believes the brand new cat should belong to a household and hopes they arrive ahead.
Sarah added: “It’s almost giving us hope that if this cat can be found and picked up after a week and a half that Walter could be hanging out doing the same thing.
“It’s quite apparent how they can latch onto a new family without a backwards glance – they’re not very loyal.”
Walter is described as a small to medium tomcat, three years old, has a collar and a disc. He isn’t assured with individuals he does not know and customarily doesn’t go close to any visitors.
